There are many imitators but none compare to the original Ludwig Vistalite Plexiglas drums. Originally introduced in 1972, the tradition of outstanding sound projection and power along with the renowned see-through appeal transcends time. Vistalite drums are available in 4 colors and feature the popular '70's vintage olive badges. Component drums come standard with Mini-Classic lugs. Rack Toms are offered as drum only with no mounting bracket, or with Vibra-band and P1216D bracket. All Component drums are special order and require 2-4 months delivery time.

The item number listed on this page is for an individual component drum, not a complete kit. The photograph on the left may be an example of a complete kit or of a similar component drum and is intended to be a representation of the piece you are ordering. Please pay close attention to the description when ordering each component piece.
